  • A great place to land…

    I have really been loving this podcast. The questions are kind and sincere and the guests have been refreshing, especially love the question at the end when Hoda asks her guests what they would do if they had one day with no commitment, how would they spend their day?

One of the most important things is that you will have more good days than bad days. Don't believe only what you see on TV about how chemotherapy will overwhelm you; you can have good days, too. Also, self-advocacy is crucial—speak up about your experience and what you feel. Accept help from friends and family, as they want to be there for you. Lastly, it's essential to prepare and pack for your treatments to set yourself up for success.
Matthew McConaughey on Faith, Family, and Finding Belief in an Uncertain World
